Goal Setting games 2: Lift the stick.

1. Material needed: a 5-meter long and two centimeter thick bamboo cane/stick.

2. This is a game to be played with a team of 8 to 10 people.

3. The aim of the game is for the team of people to lift the stick together on their forefingers until it reaches shoulder level. The challenge is to keep the fingers in contact with the stick all the way up.

4. Due to a scientific principle the stick arches upwards in the centre and it appears as though the stick is floating rather than being lifted.

5. The team is expected to overcome this action of the stick.

6. In the process of this goal setting game/training game the team experiences goal setting, team problem solving, strategizing and team functioning.

They can also be used to communicate a concept effectively. They add the 'aha' or 'Eureka' or 'got it' factor to presentations and lectures. They are great tools to use in debriefs of training games and learning games, to drive home a crucial point.
